More than 500 environmentaland social justice campaigners on Saturday occupied the runway and blocked private jets from taking off from a major airport in the Netherlands to call attention to the highly-polluting travel practices of the uber-rich in the face of runaway climate catastrophe.The organizers of the protest said participants - many of whom were arrested by police for their actions - said the plan was "to keep air traffic from the private jet terminal grounded for as long as possible."
